How to Unclog a Drain Garbage Disposer

Reset the unit. The switch can usually be found on the underside of the device, easily accessible from under the sink.

Use a broom. Unplug the garbage disposer from the power, stick the handle of a broom right down to the bottom, then spin the blade – first one way, then the other. This will, in all likelihood, loosten the blockage.

Use Vinegar and Baking Soda. Half a cup of each – left to sit for hand an hour – should soften the food scraps inside enough for it to work the next time.
